Aspect Avatar

Aspect Avatar Creation: A tool for success

The concept of the Aspect Avatar is that it is a tool. Only used to assist you in developing the impetus to achieve your own perception of a physical healthy life-style. Sometimes we use other people as a benchmark of achievement, a teacher, sports professional or public figure. Sometimes, the folks we place on the pedestal may let us down, after all they are just folks and not super heroes.

An Aspect Avatar is after all an aspect of your own personality, you own it, it affects you – you are linked. While excuses may abound when undertaking a lifestyle change, the conclusion – when honesty and accountability are addressed – is that at the end of the day, being reminded that “Doing the right thing is the right thing to do” is better to come from yourself. Your Aspect Avatar for motivation is ready and willing to assist.

Location, location, location – best to start you off with the right footing, below is the map.

Visualize it – The more vibrant the more stimulating it will be

Timeline – B.T.E (Before Torque Era) A.T.E. (After Toque Era)

8 million years (give or take) B.T.E Miocene age

Veho – The first of which, a proto human over 8 million years ago developed the ability to discorporate whilst another part of his personality dealt with the overwhelming horror he faced. Returning later to reside in his corporeal form as a passenger or rider cohabiting with his paladin personality. Many years later after practicing the ability to discorporate, his earthly body failed and he found sanctuary in a member of his own tribe.

Cohabitation, usually surreptitious, would allow host and rider to coexist. The only time a rider would come to the fore would be to assist the host in a situation that would possibly be the end of both. Swamping the host, causing memory loss of the event and taking control of the body by manipulating its physiology, using knowledge gained over centuries. If the host were to discover the Veho, then more often than not a struggle would ensue and the host would be lost. However, there is a caveat, on the odd occasion union between host and Veho occurs and great things follow.

Eventually the first of the Veho taught others the skill of disscorporation to whom it considered worthy of the task to protect their offspring. Over generations the Veho grew in numbers and directed the host, organized into gatherings, forming groups, kingdoms, empires, religions and movements within the masses of the host. All governed by the cardinal laws of the “Surreptitious Council Ordinances”

The Quarter’s:

We shall protect the councils doctrine

We shall be passive until needed

We shall be hidden

We shall protect our host

After the schism, newly awakened Veho sought supremacy; gathering set against gathering, many host were lost and now chaos reins. Empires, Religions, and Governments are struggling for survival as the doctrine of each institution becomes tainted as they try to maintain the semblance of control.

A Veho will either be power with the host or power over the host. Power with allows the host to develop in a beneficial manner. The host will thrive in a positive manner

Power over means the Veho will manipulate the host in a disingenuous manner. The inner turmoil will rise to the surface. Most times the host will not be aware of the malignant foe within. If the host becomes aware, a chance to change may be a possibility depending on the determination of the host.
